November 4, 2018 by Jack McBastard 5 Comments

A Fine Night of Debauchery  is the 51st main story mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of  A Fine Night of Debauchery Main Quest including all Gold Medals for 100% completion.

A Fine Night of Debauchery  is unlocked after completing The Gilded Cage.

Quest Giver: Trelawny Chapter: 4 Region: Lemoyne

Gold Medal Requirements:

• Win the game of Poker without Strauss’s help
• After your cover is blown, escape the boat in under 35 seconds
• Get 5 headshots
• Complete the mission without taking any health items

Starting Location: Saint Denis, Lemoyne

Talk to Trelawny

Meet up with Trelawny in Saint Denis to run a con job on a riverboat casino, but first he thinks your outfit needs some work.

Follow Trelawny to the tailor, and buy the fine three-piece town  suit, called ‘The Wittemore’. Luckily there will be no cost to you.

Next, follow Trelawny to the barber to get your hair cut and a proper shave, so that you don’t look like a vagrant.

Properly cleaned up, follow Trelawny to a carriage that will take you to the docks in style.

Unfortunately, you will have to leave your weapons behind, so be on your best behavior.

Trelawny lets you know that the dealer is in on the game, and Strauss will be giving you signals about how to bid, but in order to fulfill the gold medal requirements, you won’t be taking his directions. Keep walking with Trelawny until you sit down at the poker table.

• GOLD MEDAL: Win the game of Poker without Strauss’s help

Most of the players will leave at this point, leaving you alone with Desmond Blythe. For this hand and every hand that follows, just keep going all-in until Blythe busts.

After he busts, he’ll bet his watch from the safe upstairs, and again go all in.

After you win again, follow the pit boss upstairs to get the watch. Conveniently, Javier will be posing as a guard and join the pit boss as an escort.

The pit boss will utter some casual racism while waving a gun around, greatly diminishing any remorse you might feel for his upcoming beating.

Wait for the pit boss to open the safe.

Javier will clock the other guard in the face, while you dissuade the pit boss from doing anything stupid.

Looks like the pit boss had two guns. I can’t say that I’m sorry things went this way.

Finish looting the safe, then follow Javier. Be sure to holster your gun out of view. He will lead you down two flights of stairs.

Keep following Javier into the main room, where Trelawny is having an argument at the bar with Blythe.

Just as you’re trying to defuse the situation, all hell breaks loose.

• GOLD MEDAL: After your cover is blown, escape the boat in under 35 seconds
• GOLD MEDAL: Get 5 headshots
• GOLD MEDAL: Complete the mission without taking any health items

This time limit is ridiculously tight. Immediately go into Dead Eye and try to get as many headshots as you can. There should be enough guards visible in the room to immediately get at least three on your first pass.

Get out of cover and immediately start moving towards the stairs. Go into Dead Eye and shoot the two guards coming down the stairs to complete your five headshots.

Ignore everything else, and sprint for the door to the right of the stairs, and turn left.

Follow Javier and Trelawny off the edge of the riverboat and into the river.

Another flawless Trelawny plan. Mission complete!

This finishes  A Fine Night of Debauchery main mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. Now the next quest  Horsemen, Apocalypse starts.

Next Up: Horsemen, Apocalypse

How to get the suit back? Can’t find it anywhere. Is it mission only?

November 14, 2018 at 9:39 am

Mr. Pinto, thank you for asking that because my bot found it and I think it is only mission specific. From research and and my own exp, I found that although the suit had disappeared at the end of the mission I had gained the shade of blue for my Opulent vest.

December 15, 2018 at 2:35 pm

Like stated in the guide the time limit is ridiculous. I had to retry it multiple times, going through all the early slow-paced BS again just because the escape point refused to trigger even though I had already killed (and headshot) 5 guards, forcing me to go back and kill one more…

February 4, 2019 at 5:37 pm

The key to getting the time limit is not using dead eye because the kill cutscenes take too much time. When you’re behind the bar, get 3 or 4 headshots without deadeye and then start running towards the exit on the right side. I killed two more on the stairs in deadeye while i was going to the exit and then made a dash for the water.

August 8, 2019 at 9:37 pm

I had the same thing happen to me like 3 times, I’d get all 5 headshots immediately, run up, and nobody would follow me until after my timer started beeping, at which point I’d just let myself be killed to try again. I don’t understand, you have to stay right next to them until a certain time, or until a certain number of guards are dead? Or you just can’t get ahead of the rest?

Riverboat Grand Korrigan

Riverboat Grand Korrigan is one of the newspaper articles found in Red Dead Redemption 2.

ANNOUNCES HIGH STAKES GAMBLING NIGHTS.

High rollers, debutantes and card sharks will be welcomed on board the Grand Korrigan Riverboat is a series of high stakes gambling nights, arranged to stimulate the tourist industry in town. Moored in Saint Denis , the Grand Korrigan is said to be the most opulent riverboat of its kind still in operation, and those who have spent days of travel aboard said they scarcely wanted to disembark once reaching their destination.

The staff are famously attentive and impeccable. The cuisine is some of the finest ever experienced outside of France. The linens and millinery are all imported from Italy. The high stakes gambling nights became something of a legend, with some of the biggest and richest men of industry meeting to raise, bluff and bet incredible sums, some said to exceed the cost of a team of horses, the stable they reside in and the mansion next door.

The Grand Korrigan has resumed the famed gambling evenings now that it is moored in the area for a few weeks of preparation of resuming luxury travel service.

Welcome to the joint website for the ancestral villages of Frank and Kolb, neighboring villages located near the Volga River in Saratov Province, Russia.

The purpose of this website is to help facilitate the following mission statement of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia (AHSGR):

"An international organization dedicated to the discovery, collection, preservation, and dissemination of information related to the history, cultural heritage and genealogy of Germanic Settlers in the Russian Empire and their descendants."

Organizational Structure

It has been decided that the website be a joint site broken into 3 distinct sections. The 'main' section containing information common to both villages and genealogy in general, and the 'Frank' and 'Kolb' sections with information pertaining to each individual village respectively.

We hope that you will find this an informative and useful site and maybe even find a missing cousin or two.

If you are not a member or have been thinking of becoming one and have just been putting it off, we encourage you to check out your local chapter and join AHSGR. If there are no local chapters in your area you can always join AHSGR International, headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. By joining the society you have valuable resources at your disposal not to mention the contacts you can make with other researchers. We are generally a very helpful group of people more than willing to share our knowledge, experience, and information with those interested in researching their family genealogy.

Happy Hunting.....

History of Saratov Oblast

In the middle of the 13th century, prisoners captured by the Mongols from various conquered countries built in the area of present Saratov one of the first and largest towns of the Golden Horde - Uvek. Marco Polo mentioned the Venetians visiting this town in 1262.

In 1334, the Arab traveler Ibn Battuta visited Uvek and recorded that it was a town of “medium size, but beautifully built, with abundant blessings and severe cold”. At the end of the 14th century, the town was destroyed by Tamerlane.

In the next 200 years, a sparse population of the Wild Fields (the steppe to the north of the Black Sea and Azov Sea) was represented by the Nogai and Kalmyk nomads, Cossacks and fishing cooperatives of Russian monasteries. In the meantime, after the collapse of the Golden Horde, the Kazan Khanate was formed on the territory of the Kazan ulus, which, in 1552, was conquered by the Russian Tsar Ivan IV.

The fortress of Saratov was founded in the summer of 1590. In the first half of the 17th century, Saratov was a large fortress on the Volga River with about 300-400 streltsy (Russian guardsmen from the 16th to the early 18th centuries).

More historical facts…

In the spring of 1674, the fortress was moved to the opposite bank of the river. The locals were engaged in fishing, bread and salt trading. In June 1722, Peter I visited Saratov on his way to Persia.

In January 1780, the Saratov governorate (province) was established. In 1781, the coat of arms of Saratov was adopted: on the blue background of a heraldic shield you can see 3 silver fish (sterlet) swimming towards each other. Fish and water resources of the region were reflected in the coat of arms. Saratov became a rich merchant city.

In 1928-1932, Saratov was the center of Nizhnevolzhsky Krai, since 1934 - Saratov Krai, since 1936 - Saratov Oblast. In the 1930s, Saratov became one of the industrial centers of the country. On September 7, 1941, the territories of 15 cantons of the former Volga Germans Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic were united with Saratov Oblast. The current borders of the region were finalized in 1957.

In the 1950s-1970s, industry and agriculture, infrastructure and culture of the city and the region were developing rapidly. Until 1990, Saratov was a closed city, because there were many defense enterprises there, in particular, the Saratov Aircraft Plant, which produced military and civil aircraft. A lot of industrial enterprises of Saratov carried out orders for the Soviet space program.
